In response to last week’s Reminder titled, “Do Something Joyful,” I received the following comment from a subscriber about something she does that brings her daily joy:

“My mission that gives me daily JOY is to find/make time to phone a friend, usually three at least, who are on my mind. Voices are “our touchstone,” you notice, that one thing that never changes! I recognize them right away, despite years and wrinkles and TIME…so the minute I hear them I feel near, almost in the same room with them. And that creates the connection we are all so longing for during these days of “quarantine”…and a true personal loss on some level. That phone call dissipates the miles…and eliminates any overwhelming sense of ALONE. And It only takes a moment to pick up a phone.”
